___________________________________________I watched this pair of breeding koi for a long while and finally decided they were performing some kind of mating ritual; they skimmed past each other several times, tail fins rippling the surface, and eventually disappeared into a forest of lily pads.No apologies for the title...:-)___________________________________________Textured digital oil painting from an original photograph shot at Wheeler Farm Gardens in Portland, Connecticut on June 19, 2010. If you're ever in the area, stop by there - it's a beautiful place with amazing plants. I have owned one of their specialty European hanging geraniums for several years now, and it never fails to bloom luxuriantly every spring and summer.
